Same window on different monitor per view #290

Open Kotska opened 2 years ago

Is it possible to have a window on monitor A in tag 1, and on monitor B in tag 2? Currently when the window is moved to another monitor all its tags are removed from the original monitor.

Currently, this is not possible. The conceptual hierarchy is monitor -> view -> window, in contrast to e.g. desktop -> monitor -> window as used by Windows' virtual desktops.

It would be tedious to work around this in bug.n, since it would either mean a conceptual change, or the corner case of a window being on monitor A in tag 1 and monitor B in tag 1, would have to be accounted for in some many functions, if one would try to integrate this new behavior.
